Americas win Caesar’s Cup at WSOPE

Thursday, 20 October 2011

The first Caesar’s Cup to be played in France saw Team Americas take on Team Europe for the second time after a European victory last year. A series of poker competitions between the two teams, captained by Phil Hellmuth and Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, saw the wrong side of the Atlantic win the right flips.

Jake Cody and Tony G lost a big flip in the first match before Hansen and Lykov defeated Negreanu and Hellmuth to leave us 1-1. Americas won the final round for a 2-1 score after Johnny Chan’s 4-4 held up against A-5.
